I was able to find out that it allegedly had low compression in 2 cylinders. What that has to do with not turning over makes no sense, as how would they determine that unless they were able to turn it over. My thoughts are that the auction company may not give much effort in jumping it.

If you want a used engine, buy one from a wreck, you know it was running when it wrecked! There's a CRD in a rollover being auctioned today in Detroit, under 100k miles, IIRC.

Not if the cause of the wreck was the engine blowing up. :mrgreen:

Doesn't matter about the premiums or the extra charges (not that those are very nice at all)... That price is STUPID. Someone just massively overspent for what very likely is a 4300 lb lawn ornament.

At the least, they just spent 85% of the value of a GOOD condition and OPERATIONAL example... For one that is neither. Somebody is about to get a very very expensive lesson.
